First time finding anything at a Coinstar. Went to Walmart in the evening, and found an epic hoard:

1 1980 Canadian quarter
1 2010 dime
2 obliterated Lincoln cents
1 button

[cwgii]

unable to retrieve , saw a gent throw away a Canadian dime and quarter.

I did get a nickel, the edge was 'rolled' ie thickened.

Which is where I was for about 30 mins, checking out every country that might have Arabic writing on its coins. WCG gets better and better every time I visit. Always some cool new feature.

Found a zinc at the Wal-Mart coin star of a neighboring town. Not much - but beats the nothing I've been coming up with most the time in recent months.

Found 1964 Silver Dime in reject bin today!!!

[Morsecode]

Had to walk right past the coinstar today in the supermarket...I paused and glanced. Someone left a quarter, 3 dimes, and 3 pennies in the reject bin.

I took them out, looked for silver (none), and put em back for the next beggar.

And now, despite all the evil I've done in this life, I have assured myself a place in paradise. And it only cost 58 cents.

If you had found a silver would you have replaced it with a clad?

While I may be enlightened, kind Sir...I am not Hindu. So, no.



by the way...your post here at 3:39pm was the 200,000 post on Realcent. If not mistaken, I believe you have won a kilo of gold and a new Subaru.

[coindood]

Two leftovers in the dump tray:

Austria 5 euro cents (2002)
Canada 5 cents (2010)

...the latter completing my Canadian nickels thru 2014.

Post moved to correct thread.

[Sullysullinburg]

250.00 BWR dimes = 1953-D, 1956, 1960, & 1964 Roosies
100.00 BWR dimes = skunk
100.00 BWR nickels = 1926 full date buffalo

Is this in the wrong thread or did someone leave all that in the reject bin?

Coinstar cat food run today. How do people miss the rejects on this machine? The bin on the Penny Arcades is at ankle level, so I get that some users would walk away without knowing; but on the Coinstar the reject tray is waist high. I saw these coins from 10 feet away as I left the store.

[cwgii]

two elongated pennies from sea world, a half dozen tokens... peter piper pizza , car wash, unknown. a $100 mex from 1950, 5c mex 1959, a quarter, a dime stuck to a penny, a nickels, three pennies.

to say I was surprised a t the amount in the reject , when it is unually one coin.

[coindood]

US 49¢ in dimes, nickels and cents were left in the dump tray and/or wedged in the gap that leads to the counter. I happily rescued them.
